01:40 MIN Timberwolves @ DAL Mavericks

DAL Mavericks

Money Line

50 WIN

@+250

Lose

-50

Timberwolves pretty formidable at home, and if this match was in Minnesota I think they'd be big favourites. But it's a different story on their travels, and Dallas are in good form.

00:40 ATL Hawks @ BOS Celtics

ATL Hawks

Money Line

50 WIN

@+187

Win

I had the Hawks around 2.40 for the win, so I think there's some potential in them at this price here, as they've been in slightly better form than these odds suggest.

00:37 COL Avalanche @ OTT Senators

OTT Senators

Money Line

50 WIN

@+129

Win

Bottom of one division versus top of another, but there's not much between these two form-wise, so Ottawa, with the home advantage, are given a look here.

Eye Of The Water

Daily Racing

50 WINR4Deductions based on standard industry rates given the odds of each withdrawn horse at time of first withdrawal following your betNR

@+1600

Void

Eye of the Water tends to do well on the short turnaround and in the winter all-weather circuit, so is given consideration here. He only ran yesterday, so there's a chance he comes out, but if he doesn't they'll probably be some support. We'll either get our money back or the value.

02:10 DET Pistons @ DEN Nuggets

DEN Nuggets

Money Line

50 WIN

@+225

Lose

-50

The Pistons are obviously hot stuff at the moment, but Denver are in pretty good form and have the home advantage. It's definitely a value bet for me.

01:10 MIL Bucks @ PHI 76ers

MIL Bucks

Money Line

50 WIN

@+332

Lose

-50

Both these teams have lost their last two matches, and Philadelphia probably hasn't. Justify this level of favoritism with that in mind.

01:07 CHI Blackhawks @ MIN Wild

CHI Blackhawks

Money Line

50 WIN

@+189

Lose

-50

Minnesota aren't in good enough form to justify this heavy a favouritism and are taken on here as a result. Chicago could nick this one and are a tempting price.

01:07 DAL Stars @ STL Blues

STL Blues

Money Line

50 WIN

@+137

Lose

-50

St. Louis could take this with the home advantage, especially as Dallas haven't been in the best form of late. They should be challenged because of that.

00:40 SAC Kings @ NY Knicks

SAC Kings

Money Line

50 WIN

@+600

Lose

-50

Not much to write home about for the Knicks lately, so even with home advantage they shouldn't be this heavily favoured. A chance is taken on the Kings here.

00:30 Elena Rybakina vs Iga Swiatek

Iga Swiatek

Win Match

50 WIN

@+104

Lose

-50

Swiatek has won the last five head-to-heads on hard courts, so I think the odds should probably be flipped in this contest. I'll take her to win this one. The other semi is anyone's guess!

00:07 BUF Sabres @ TOR Maple Leafs

BUF Sabres

Money Line

50 WIN

@+100

Win

Four defeats in a row for Toronto, so I think Buffalo are a decent price to double your money in this contest. They are in much better form and can win this.

00:07 NSH Predators @ BOS Bruins

BOS Bruins

Money Line

50 WIN

@-109

Win

Bruins have been very comfortable at home with a pretty strong record, and they should be too strong for Nashville here. It's a head-scratcher as to why both are so close in odds.

00:07 UTA Mammoth @ FLA Panthers

UTA Mammoth

Money Line

50 WIN

@+129

Win

Mammoth dropped one last night, but still look to be a decent price for this contest and are taken to get the victory over Florida.

27 January 2026

20:30 8:30 Wolverhampton

Global Effort

Daily Racing

25 EWR4Deductions based on standard industry rates given the odds of each withdrawn horse at time of first withdrawal following your betNR

@+1800

Void

We're in Class Six territory on a cold Tuesday night in Wolverhampton here, so Global Effort is considered due to the course and distance form from higher in the weights. A little unpredictable, but worth the each-way punt in case that previous form here is rediscovered. There will be some pace to aim at, so the race could be run to suit.

Street Life

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@+400

Lose

-50

Hugely consistent STREET LIFE hasn't finished outside the top four in any of the last eight runs and is drawn to get very close here. Should get out ahead of Forest Gunner and, with an each-way on the potentially dangerous Global Effort, hopefully we've got all bases covered.

20:00 Doncaster v Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient

50 WIN

@+259

Lose

-50

Doncaster are really struggling for form at the moment, so I think Leyton Orient are backable to win the points here. I just don't see how the home side can be evens.

19:45 Barnet v Tranmere

Tranmere

50 WIN

@+440

Lose

-50

Only six points between these two, so Barnet look slightly overestimated here. I'd say maybe 1.85??"1.90 for the win. They look too short, so Tranmere are tempting either in the double chance or straight win market.

19:45 Blackpool v Stockport

Blackpool

50 WIN

@+229

Lose

-50

Not much between the recent form of these two teams, so Stockport, despite being the higher-ranked team, are taken on here.

19:45 Bolton v Burton Albion

Burton Albion

50 WIN

@+575

Lose

-50

I just think when the games come thick and fast there is the potential for a team in seemingly good form to suddenly have a setback. Burton are chanced with that in mind here.

19:45 Cheltenham v Gillingham

Cheltenham

50 WIN

@+225

Void

Gillingham have picked up after a poor run, but Cheltenham still look a value play with the home advantage here. They've got every chance of landing the points here.

19:45 Harrogate Town v Fleetwood Town

Harrogate Town

50 WIN

@+290

Lose

-50

Fleetwood are on a bad run, so they might be vulnerable on their trip to Yorkshire. Harrogate badly need the points to put up more of a fight to avoid the drop.

19:30 Newport County v Accrington Stanley

Newport County

50 WIN

@+229

Lose

-50

If Newport are going to get out of jail, it's matches like this they will need to win. They look value, at least to make the home advantage count here.

18:30 6:30 Wolverhampton

Billy Bathgate

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@+1100

Lose

-50

Billy Bathgate won when last seen here over a longer trip and is only a couple of pounds higher now. Could get involved now returning to a favoured venue, and probably benefits from dropping to this distance.

18:00 6:00 Wolverhampton

Midnight Call

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTETip made at odds of 2.50 on 26/01 at 23:570.10 deduction for My Genghis@10.00 withdrawn at 10:35R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 1.50 x (1-0.10) = 2.35

@+135

Win

Will be surprised if MIDNIGHT CALL goes off this price. Looks like the only one in the field capable of winning at the moment and has also been handed a boost by a prime position in the stalls. Probably doesn't get beat.

16:10 4:10 Newcastle

Breadalbane Lass

Daily Racing

25 EW

@+2500

Lose

-50

Breadlabane Lass has stronger claims than some mid-priced horses in this race, so is worth an each-way poke, as she may be capable of picking some of them off here. Best run of the season in a respectable big-field handicap at Ayr last time out, and this looks a slightly easier assignment for her.

14:25 2:25 Newcastle

Half Track

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

@+2200

Lose

-50

Half Track dropped in grade last time out and made an improvement after finding things tough in a grade higher the run before that. With that step in the right direction, he's potentially well handicapped to go close here. Distance and going seem to suit, so there are a few boxes that this one ticks if he continues the progression.

14:00 Gary Wilson v Scott Donaldson

Scott Donaldson

Win Match

50 WIN

@+175

Win

I had Donaldson at shorter odds than this for the victory, so I think he's worth a look at this price from a value perspective.

13:05 1:00 Chepstow

Dont Tell Rosie

Daily Racing

25 EWNAPNOTETip made at odds of 17.00 on 26/01 at 23:440.10 deduction for Gower Spirit@8.50 withdrawn at 07:210.00 deduction for Ocean Walz @41.000 withdrawn at 07:530.10 deduction for Atlantic Power @8.000 withdrawn at 08:130.00 deduction for Saccary @23.000 withdrawn at 08:170.20 deduction for Luwdvig @4.333 withdrawn at 08:190.00 deduction for Getaway Sam @41.000 withdrawn at 08:41R4 Adjusted Odds = 1 + 16.00 x (1-0.4) = 10.60

@+960

Win

DON'T TELL ROSIE has been in relatively poor form this season but was respectable enough in a big-field handicap from five pounds higher in the weights at this course the run before last. Merits consideration because of that, and this extended trip shouldn't cause any issues. The stable generally do well here, so we could have one that outruns this price.

02:40 GS Warriors @ MIN Timberwolves

GS Warriors

Money Line

50 WIN

@+329

Lose

-50

Very little between these two in the overall standings, and Golden State are in better form, so they look very overpriced here, even as the road team.

01:37 ANA Ducks @ EDM Oilers

ANA Ducks

Money Line

50 WIN

@+229

Lose

-50

Ducks have won seven in a row and are now only a point off Edmonton. They are the road team but still look a big price here and are taken to land this one.

01:10 LA Lakers @ CHI Bulls

CHI Bulls

Money Line

50 WIN

@+104

Lose

-50

Bulls have won four in a row, and so with the home advantage would probably be my favourites to claim this contest. So they are given a look here.

01:10 POR Trail Blazers @ BOS Celtics

POR Trail Blazers

Money Line

50 WIN

@+259

Lose

-50

Portland are in better form than this odds structure suggests, so I think they are worth a look here. Boston haven't been quite as strong lately. The Trail Blazers could well cause the upset.

00:07 NY Islanders @ PHI Flyers

NY Islanders

Money Line

50 WIN

@+100

Win

I had the Islanders as the marginal favourites for this one. Philadelphia has not been living up to the billing of late, and that poor form could cost them.

00:07 UTA Mammoth @ TB Lightning

UTA Mammoth

Money Line

50 WIN

@+137

Lose

-50

Two of the form teams meet head-to-head here, and because of that I think Utah are worth a bet at this price. Even though they are the road team, this isn't far off a 50/50 game.

26 January 2026

19:00 7:00 Wolverhampton

Eupator

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@+137

Win

Eupator is bang in form and looks the most likely winner of this one. I can't see much in this field beating him from the ideal draw, and conditions will suit the front runner.

16:25 4:25 Wolverhampton

Sisters In The Sky

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@+2000

Win

1000

Former CD winner SISTERS IN THE SKY hasn't been beaten by far in classifieds the last twice and comes back to handicapping from a rock-bottom mark. Considered at this price.

01:07 ANA Ducks @ CGY Flames

ANA Ducks

Money Line

50 WIN

@+100

Win

To put it simply, I think Anaheim are the better team, so they look the viable play here even though they are the away team.

00:30 Jessica Pegula vs Madison Keys

Madison Keys

Win Match

50 WIN

@+145

Lose

-50

Keys got the better of Pegula in Adelaide last season, and she just strikes me as a player who can really go places when she's bang on form. Keys for me at this price.

00:10 TOR Raptors @ OKC Thunder

TOR Raptors

Money Line

50 WIN

@+400

Win

200

I don't back against the Thunder very often, but this is probably a rare occasion to do it. The Raptors are in good form and probably shouldn't be this price for the win.

25 January 2026

22:40 GS Warriors @ MIN Timberwolves

GS Warriors

Money Line

50 WIN

@+209

Win

105

There's only one place and two and a half games between these two, and with Minnesota losing their last four, the Warriors are worth a look at this price.

14:00 Crystal Palace v Chelsea

Crystal Palace

50 WIN

@+259

Lose

-50

I just don't think Chelsea should be odds-on in a match like this. They are susceptible to losing, particularly on the road, and Palace look a valid play at this London price.

14:00 Newcastle v Aston Villa

Aston Villa

50 WIN

@+259

Win

130

Newcastle in the thick of a brutal run of matches, and with Villa getting some reinforcements to bolster the squad in the coming weeks, they might be able to end the Newcastle hoodoo.

12:00 Portsmouth v Southampton

Portsmouth

50 WIN

@+234

Lose

-50

In this contest, anything can happen. Portsmouth will really want to raise their game for this occasion and will probably look for value with the home advantage.

02:40 MIA Heat @ UTA Jazz

UTA Jazz

Money Line

50 WIN

@+250

Lose

-50

Heat are 8-15 on the road this season, so they probably shouldn't be this heavily favored even with the Jazz not in great shape. They've got a real chance and definitely look like value.

01:40 LA Lakers @ DAL Mavericks

DAL Mavericks

Money Line

50 WIN

@+145

Lose

-50

Four wins in a row for Dallas, and I think that makes them a real threat here. They have the home advantage and are also in better form.

01:07 LA Kings @ STL Blues

STL Blues

Money Line

50 WIN

@+114

Lose

-50

The Blues should be shorter for the win here with the home-ice advantage. The Kings haven't played particularly well of late and could be vulnerable.

00:07 DET Red Wings @ WPG Jets

DET Red Wings

Money Line

50 WIN

@+104

Win

The Red Wings are one of the better performers this season and should be good enough to give Winnipeg a real contest in their own arena. They look a decent double-your-money bet.

00:07 MTL Canadiens @ BOS Bruins

BOS Bruins

Money Line

50 WIN

@-109

Win

I think Boston should probably be the favourites for this one with the home advantage. They are in better form, and they should have the ability to see off Montreal.

24 January 2026

20:10 NY Knicks @ PHI 76ers

PHI 76ers

Money Line

50 WIN

@+104

Lose

-50

76ers should be the favorites for this with the home advantage. They are in slightly better form than the Knicks and should take this.

18:35 6:35 Newcastle

Ana Emaraaty is just running consistently well and looks like a winner before too long. Every box is ticked for me here, so if all goes to plan she will be very close to winning.

ISLA BELLA has shown some speed in recent races, so is the other I'd consider to go close here. Another consistent, well-handicapped sort that won't be far away.

Tribal Wisdom

Daily Racing

50 WINR4Deductions based on standard industry rates given the odds of each withdrawn horse at time of first withdrawal following your betNR

This just strikes me that Tribal Wisdom is a bit of an unknown here. Running really well at the moment and worth a small punt, just in case the drop down in trip is what he's been after.

17:30 Bournemouth v Liverpool

Bournemouth

50 WIN

@+300

Win

150

Many a team has fallen short at Bournemouth away, and Liverpool, although having a revival, could come unstuck here. Bournemouth represent a real challenge and could win this.

15:00 Birmingham v Stoke

Stoke

50 WIN

@+359

Lose

-50

Birmingham are consistently being overestimated in the win market. They really aren't looking like the world-beaters this price suggests they should be, even with the home advantage.

15:00 Bolton v Leyton Orient

Leyton Orient

50 WIN

@+480

Lose

-50

Bolton should be the favs for this one, but they look a little skinny against an Orient team that does have the ability to turn it on from time to time.

15:00 Bristol City v Sheff Wed

Sheff Wed

50 WIN

@+1200

Lose

-50

Sheffield Wednesday look a valid play as they are getting close to finding another win before too long, and because of that they look value at this price.

15:00 Cheltenham v Grimsby

Cheltenham

50 WIN

@+275

Lose

-50

With the home advantage, Cheltenham are worth a punt here. Grimsby are not quite consistent enough on the road to merit evens favoritism for this one.

15:00 Doncaster v Wigan

Wigan

50 WIN

@+225

Lose

-50

This looks like it should be a pretty close contest. Maybe Wigan have some potential to steal the points, so they look a value bet even as the away side here.

15:00 Harrogate Town v Gillingham

Harrogate Town

50 WIN

@+320

Lose

-50

Harrogate are worth a look here as they badly need a win to get out of the drop zone, and Gillingham have fallen away of late, so might be vulnerable.

14:48 2:48 Lingfield

Alyara

Daily Racing

25 EW

@+2200

Lose

-50

Alyara took a step back in the right direction last time out, so she's potentially able to get involved on the polytrack from this rock-bottom mark. She was close from higher in the handicap at Chelmsford in late summer. She looks likely to front-run, which can be beneficial here, and hopefully that low mark means she at least sticks around for a place.

14:14 2:14 Lingfield

The Bay Warrior

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@+4000

Lose

-50

The Bay Warrior drops in grade and so faces an easier range of opponents than he's usually used to. Is back to his last winning mark, so could get involved and looks relatively well handicapped. Overall, he has placed or better on 21 of 52 all-weather runs, and there's been some course form here too.

13:08 1:08 Lingfield

Beach Partee

@+900

Win

A 3yo race, so not one to get too heavily involved in stake-wise, especially not in my current form. But BEACH PARTEE returns to the scene of his last win and is only two pounds above that mark here, so he might be able to bounce back after a couple of uncharacteristic runs to end his debut season. The stable does excellently here with the sprints and at Lingfield too, so he has each-way claims.

Far Too Fizzy

Daily Racing

50 WINR4Deductions based on standard industry rates given the odds of each withdrawn horse at time of first withdrawal following your betNR

Far Too Fizzy is the one that is difficult to ignore here. It won far too easily last time out, and the drop in trip won't be a problem.

12:30 Middlesbrough v Preston

Preston

50 WIN

@+540

Lose

-50

This looks like it will be a much closer contest than this odds structure suggests it will be. Preston have been somewhat of a surprise package but could take this.

12:30 Millwall v Charlton

Charlton

50 WIN

@+425

Lose

-50

Charlton are value for this London derby and could clinch this match against a Millwall side that are a little up and down.

12:30 West Ham v Sunderland

Sunderland

50 WIN

@+225

Lose

-50

West Ham are really struggling this season, so I think Sunderland look worth a punt at this price. The Black Cats have been playing much better than them of late.

11:58 11:58 Lingfield

Sands Of Havana

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

@+1800

Lose

-50

The first run over this trip before Christmas, which was at Lingfield, was respectable enough for SANDS OF HAVANA to be considered here. She's four pounds lighter now, and the opposition in this one doesn't seem quite as competitive. She found herself trapped out wide last time at Kempton, so I'm prepared to draw a line through that one.

08:00 Elena Rybakina vs Tereza Valentova

Tereza Valentova

@+425

Lose

-50

I'm just trying to see what the acca spoiler will be in these set of matches, because there's always one, right? Up-and-comer Valentova could come of age this season, and maybe this isn't beyond the realms of her capabilities.

03:10 TOR Raptors @ POR Trail Blazers

POR Trail Blazers

50 WIN

Portland are in great form at the moment, and with the home advantage I think they are capable of beating most teams. They should definitely take care of Toronto here.

02:40 DEN Nuggets @ MIL Bucks

DEN Nuggets

Money Line

50 WIN

@+209

Win

105

Nuggets are in better form and have the better overall record. They are considered at this price even as the road team, so they should probably be shorter for win purposes.

02:07 WAS Capitals @ CGY Flames

CGY Flames

Neither side has been at their best of late, so I think Calgary are backable at better-than-double-your-money odds with the home advantage.

01:07 STL Blues @ DAL Stars

STL Blues

-50

Dallas struggling for results lately, so I think there's some value in St. Louis to come to Texas and pick up the W against a divisional rival.
